This is a fun and inspirational book. The author starts out with information on gelatin and takes off from there.Adding tips on solid nibbles to add to the shots. I have tried some of the recipes, and it has inspired me to make up some of my own.

The book itself is laid out nicely with cutesy pictures strewn through out.It is easy to read and even has a feature called fear factor that deals with non-toxic creepy crawlies from the animal kingdom i.e crickets. insect eggs and caviar etc etc...

Some shots are quick to assemble, other require a bit more time and a steady hand.The challenging aspect to this book is all the ingredients one needs to have for many of these, it could get quite pricey, but many ingredients- with the exception of the gelatin can be substituted.

I bought this years ago for a friend of mine and we had so much fun trying all the recipes and writing our comments in the margin about how we liked/disliked each one. I ordered this one now for my sister to enjoy and I can't wait to share my favorites with her. Delivery was very speedy and book was in mint condition.
